before operating the unit, please read the following
precautions carefully.
• Operate the unit only on 120 V AC, 60 Hz.
• Stop operation immediately if any liquid or solid object
should fall into the cabinet. Unplug the unit and have it
checked by qualified personnel.
• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if you do not use it for
a long time. Disconnect the cord by grasping the plug.
Never pull the cord itself.

Notes on handling discs
•To keep the disc clean, handle the disc by its edge. Do
not touch the surface.
• Do not stick paper or tape on the disc.
•Place the unit in a location with adequate air circulation to
prevent internal heat built up in the unit

turned on for about an hour until the moisture evaporates.
• Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or heat sources
such as hot air ducts, nor leave it in a car parked in direct
sunlight as there can be a considerable rise in the
temperatu re.
• After playing, store the disc in its case.
Caution on adjusting volume
Do not turn up the volume while listening to a portion with
very low level inputs or no audio signals. If you do, the
speakers may be damaged when apeak level portion is
played.
For detailed safety precautions, see the leaflet "IMPORTANT
SAFEGUARDS".
